Get ready for a rip-roaring, adrenaline-pumping thrill ride on the Solent with a 60 minute taster session in a RIB (rigid inflatable boat). After an essential safety briefing, head down to the pontoon, board the RIB and head out to the Southampton water, leaving Ocean Village and passing the luxury cruise liner berths before turning south towards the Solent. Once there, the session steps up a gear with tight turns, jumps, wake rides and riding the swell. With the wind whipping through your hair, hang on and prepare to get wet on this heart-pounding and exciting ride of a lifetime.
